Show us your kool in car toolbox, travel box.

Its time to give the beast her own tool box, I want to make something smokin kool, Dont care about your contents just want to admire the box, not your shop box now, your cars travel box. Thanks guys.

 

No boxes, how bout leather bags.

 

I have been looking for a vintage carry around box for a while. I think that the cantaliever boxes are the most usefull for a hot rod as you can neatly store so many small screws, clips and such in the small compartments.

 

Im gonna make a couple different types, wood with dove tailed edges, a couple of small boxes, a couple of mid sized boxes, I'll show them to the guys here and see whats liked. I thought there would be a lot of cool boxes.

 

heres mine an older kennedy cantiliever pick up at a flea mkt for $9

ive made many trailside repairs with just what i have listed. sometimes it's enough to get back to a parking lot to make major repairs

 

I just have a canvas tool roll under the seat. It has just the basics.

 

I bumped this up to show off my new aluminum with copper rivits bed box I had Mike Mercurio, the bomber seat maker, build for me. He is a Hamber and does great work.
I saw a battery box he made and thought he could do a larger version for pick-ups. He followed the sketch I sent him pretty closley.
I will have Eric at Hot Rod Leather make up some cool straps with copper plated hardware. I'm going to use this to replace the one I made for George the 40 Chevy pickup.
I'll post pictures when I install it. I thinks it's very cool!

 

I carry all my stuff in this old trunk i pick up at a swap meet. Made by METAL BUILT. Not sure of the age, but old. I keep my side curtains, tools, extra gas, fire extinguisher, etc in there.

 

no need for a toolbox in the old lady,theres nothing wrong with her
